Since doing a Refresh of my Firefox installation - I have noticed several changes in behavior.

target="_blank" has changed its behavior - it now causes the browser to jump to the new tab (regardless of ANY settings that may stop it changing) - the middle click business "SUCKS".

When downloading multiple links from an index file - it was just a matter "tab" - "enter" to work down the list. The new behavior causes too much tab jumping about on the screen - very wasteful of time and energy.

When I actually click a link on a page - the same things happen - too many clicks required to get the job done.

I generally download files in batches of 300 files.

Any other options are too time consuming !!!

Latest Stable Firefox, windows, over 4000 tabs. Overall Firefox works great for me. but when I restart it to install the latest versions etc, it only restores one active/loaded tab per window. Rest are restored, but in a closed/unloaded state. I usually have 5-20 open tabs per window, and hundreds more unloaded, it's how I work. How on earth can I get it to restore all the open/loaded tabs as they were, not in the unloaded state they default to?

Issue still occurs in a new install with no addons, default settings, under 30 tabs etc. Ditto Win 10 or 11.

Also, how on earth can I get official Mozzilla pages to use Dark Mode??

As I am trying to make my browsing faster by minimizing the use of the mouse, I have come across an issue: if I search among all tabs on Firefox for Mac, either by "shift + command + A" or by adding a percent sign to the address / search bar, selecting a tab that is within a collapsed tab group deleted the tab group in question in this keyboard-based manner of execution. This issue leads to the unnecessary need to recreate the tab group. I have verified the issue at least with a collapsed tab group containing a single tab.

I've run into an issue on macOS where Firefox does not restore my previous session if I close the browser using the red "X" window button. I have the "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in settings.

• Scenario A: If I click the red "X" button to close the Firefox window and then reopen Firefox, my previous tabs are gone (except for pinned tabs) and a new session is started.

• Scenario B: If I use Cmd + Q (or Firefox > Quit) to close the application, my session restores perfectly upon the next launch.

It seems that closing the window updates the session state to an empty window, wiping out the saved session even though the application process is still running in the macOS dock.

Is there a way to configure Firefox on macOS so that closing the last window via the red "X" preserves the session tabs just like Quitting does?

Somehow I changed something and I don't remember what I did. When I click on a link or bookmark another tab is opened, which is what I want, but my browser doesn't go to that page automatically. How do I get the browser to go to the link I clicked on? I'm using Windows 10 with Firefox 159.0

Thanks, Rafal

After an update (seemingly, I did not run 'sudo pacman -Syu'), the tabs have changed in look and to be frank i find the new layout ugly. How do I turn it back? Attached is a photo of the new tab groups, i couldn't get one of the circular tabs.

I updated to Firefox 159.0 and now when I click on a link it doesn't open the link in a new tab. I tried the extensions and they did not work. I also tried changing some of the setting in "about:config" and restarting Firefox after making the changes and the links still open in the same tab.

Thank you, Rafal

In the past, for my open tabs I was able to move them around, and place a certain tab in a different position, and Firefox would simply Move the tab over , making room for the tab you want to relocate.

Now, When I grab a tab, it does NOT do that. What has changed??

I’ve seen in other browser where you can make the tabs disappear or close after a week or so. I couldn’t find it in your settings. I like it because I often forget about my tabs and I end up with 100 open tabs. Could you please add this? Thanks. —Caleb

Right-clicking on an open web page displays a menu of options which includes an option to add the tab to a group, and the sub-menu shows two options, one of which is Closed Groups (the other is add new group). So where are these groups ? And why were the groups closed?

After (what I presume was) an update I lost all of my tab groups I had made. I had a bunch of school stuff and creative writing stuff in there and would love to recover them if possible. I tried to check my proflies and opened them in a new tab, but all the groups were still missing in them.

Two days ago I closed FF and went to bed. I opened it the next morning and lost about 20 tabs. Ever since then, every time I restart FF, I lose all tabs except for one default tab.

TLDR: 1. "restore previous session" is not available. 2. Toggling Settings/Home and Startup does nothing. 3. Update? My FF automatically updates. 4. "about:sessionrestore" finds nothing,

1. FF help said I could go into History and click "Restore Previous Session" but that option doesn't exist. All I can do is look at History and see lists for today, yesterday, last 7 days etc.

2. Another advisory suggested Settings, Home and Startup, select "Open previous windows and tabs". but it was already selected. So I switched it off, restarted FF and then switched it back on. I still lose all tabs every time I restart FF.

3. Another advisory suggested, checking for updates. My FF automatically updates.

4. I tried "about:sessionrestore" It returns with the heading: "Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back." Restore session is greyed out and "View previous tabs" produces an empty list. I've tried it a few times now, identical result.

Thanks for any help. Cheers, Andrew

Despite re-installing Firefox sidebar is still missing (I spent 3 full days trying to fix it before re-installing). I also can't obtain another tab - I'm restricted just to the one page I'm currently using

I am trying to use the tabs setting to always open a new window when clicking on a link, especially from search results. It seems no matter which setting I chose in "Tabs and Browsing" they Never open in a new tab, I even tried opening in a new Window but that doesn't work either. What always happens is the new site overwrites the window with its site, and some sites even make it so you cannot go back to the results of your search. As if the site replaced the left Arrow to go back with Nul or something that greys it out. I guess they don't want you to go to a different site to check out something unless you type your search in all over again.

How do I override clicking on a search result link to always go to a new tab so I can easily go back to the search results. Currently I always have to remember to right click on the link as tell it to open in a new Tab. I would expect this from Chrome as they want you to buy from their customers. But FireFox should be better for the consumer/person and not be better for some corporation. Thanks, Bill
